then it's not an XML compliant protocol, that's pretty bad design, would you name the name of that protocol so that some public shame can be casted on those who pushed for it ? > The point is when you use xmlTextWriterSetIndent(writer, 0) > before EVEN starting your document, I expect to get no indentation as > stated here > <http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlwriter.html#xmlTextWriterSetIndent> > ( http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlwriter.html#xmlTextWriterSetIndent ) > > The first '\n' is indentation. > > I modified the lib, but still reporting something that seems wrong for me. > You'll find the patch as attachment and below. Sorry I won't change that behaviour. This will break people expecting those for example in regression tests. indent is about adding those space in significant content it's actually not the default, what you are doing is changing part where it's not supposed to be significant. See for example the differences on xmllint with --pretty for the value of 0 (no change), 1 (change adding significant content) and 2 (change adding non significant content) > --- libxml2-2.7.2/xmlwriter.c Tue Mar 11 23:54:05 2008 > +++ libxml2-2.7.2/xmlwriter.c Fri Aug 29 16:38:31 2014 > @@ -614,7 +614,12 @@ > sum += count; > } > > - count = xmlOutputBufferWriteString(writer->out, "?>\n"); > + if (writer->indent) { > + count = xmlOutputBufferWriteString(writer->out, "?>\n"); > + } > + else { > + count = xmlOutputBufferWriteString(writer->out, "?>"); > + } > if (count < 0) > return -1; > sum += count; > > As for the other one I remove it inside my code.
